TL to Monsieur Raymond Girard from Vladimir Nabokov, October 19, 1963 ., October 19, 1963
Item — Box: 2, Folder: 35
Scope and Contents
Not addressed, in French, regarding Girard's translation of the first part of Pale Fire, including several explanations of terms that have confused the translator. Particularly interesting is VN's discussion of "homer" and the joke that eludes Kinbote as it probably will most French readers. Explains impossibility of including translator's notes in the French edition, as these may be confused with Kinbote's notes. Possibly a copy that was enclosed with 2-34.
